Well they said they couldn't find anything but a lot of stool in my colon. They prescribed lots of laxatives. I went, A LOT! Guess what? The pain didn't go away.
I called the doc this morning to find out the next step. She did a pelvic exam before and ruled out lady parts trouble. I forgot to tell you that part.
Anyone have problems like this one?

I feel I am in the same boat. I talked to my Doc today and they are sending me to an OB/GYN!
I will keep you posted.
